    The stitching 10 days post op.
    Jason Y.

    Dr. Tang was recommended to me from a friend who used to work with him 10yrs prior. I sought an expert to remove a lump that appeared over my right temple. Dr. Tang's skill and steady hands allowed him to expertly remove the lipoma without complications. It was immediately sent to pathology for analysis. Thankfully it came back benign. From early consultation to day of operation, Dr. Tang and his staff were calm, cool and collected. He checked in periodically post op to ensure I was healing as scheduled. I was grateful for his sense of humor and calming bedside manner. Marie and his staff made sure I was well taken care of from start to finish. I will happily recommend Dr. Tang and his crew for their bedside manner, expertise and skill.

    Skull Scalped by Garage Door
    Shari C.

    March 2, 2019 I was walking on the treadmill in my garage. I opened the garage door half way to smell the rain. I tied up my 2 year old Pit Bull because she is a runner and left my 14 year old Boxer loose because it's hard for her to even get up anymore. Well someone walked by with their dog and my Boxer decided to charge them. She wouldn't have done anything but startle the owner and that is exactly what she did because I wasn't able to catch her before the garage door slammed me to the ground. I didn't duck low enough and the metal part on the bottom of the garage door sliced my forehead open to the skull. When Dr. Tang arrived to the emergency room his presence brought me peace even under the traumatic circumstances I was in. He looked at my head and simply told me I was going to be okay. He verbally walked me through the whole experience as I physically went through the process. After listening to his advice of not getting the bandage wet or removing it even while I was on vacation in Cancun, I am surprised with my healing progress in just two weeks and super grateful for his magical hands and mind that God has blessed him with. He also has the ability to connect and brought humor to my experience which was greatly appreciated.

    Dr Tang operated on my index finder, which suffered an unexpected interaction with a table saw. The tendon and nerves were severed. Dr Tang operated in the ER and repaired the damage. My finger moves again! Yay! Thank you Dr Tang! Without your careful and precise handling, I would not be able to use the good ole pointer.

    My mom had double eyelid surgery on 12/22/2022 at Lawton W Tang Clinic 125 N. Raymond Ave. Pasadena ca 91103

    My mother had a double eyelid surgery on 12/22/2022 at Lawton W Tang Clinic 125 N. Raymond Ave. Pasadena ca 91103. 26 days after the operation, my mother's eyes appeared obvious large and small eyes, and the two eyes were asymmetrical. And had very deep eye sockets, so we did a second repair in his clinic on 1/18/2023, after the operation, there were two scars on the eyes, scar hyperplasia, nerve problems in the eyes, and then my mother on 2/8 In 2023, the third repair was done, and there was an obvious gap in the closed eyes. We went to Lawton Tang, and he injected a transparent liquid into my mother. This is the previous photo of my mother and Lawton Tang made eyes for my mother. Comparison chart of photos. Now my mother's eyes have been disfigured, and she sheds tears every day, and has mental depression, and takes antidepressant medicine every day. On 2/15, we went to Lawton Tang's clinic to defend our rights. Lawton Tang told us that before our operation, he signed a lot of exemptions and called the police to drive us away. As a patient, we just hope that the doctor can be responsible for us, but the doctor uses legal means to escape. Responsibility makes people very angry! I hope all beauty lovers choose a doctor carefully. The doctor's medical skills are very poor, and when they operated on my mother, they kept chatting, laughing, and were not serious.

    Vascular occlusion

    I am filled with immeasurable blessings to be under the care of Dr Tang! Recently, i experienced a rare one-to-million chance of vascular occlusion during our dermal filler training. Dr. Tang, being our Medical Director, was called and notified. With urgency and passion for his work, he immediately came to my assistance. I'm so amazed at how dedicated he is to be on top of every care he renders to his patients. Amidst his busy schedule, he made it a point to check on me everyday. He is a one-of-a-kind doctor that when you text or call, is always quick to respond, always on time, making sure all your concerns are answered. Very ptient, caring, and comforting. I felt a great relief being under his care throughout the course of my journey to healing. Dr Tang is so precise in his management of care, with a well-equipped knowledge and proven expertise. I'm seeing good results everyday. My recovery went by faster than I could have ever thought. With daily follow ups, plus clinic visits with a caring physician, and a pleasant Assistant, Marie, what else could I ever ask for? I have nothing but praises, and admirations of how good a doctor you are! I'm so humbled by how you immensely touched my life! I'm forever grateful to you! Above all, I thank God for this blessing to know you! God bless your beautiful soul, Dr Tang!

    Dr. Tang is a 5 star surgeon. I was an A cup all my life and hesitant to do breast augmentation but once I met Dr. Tang, I was sold! It's been six months since my surgery and I have never been happier. I still keep in touch with the clinic as I go back for follow ups. I have referred a few of my friends to Dr Tang already and everyone is so happy. If you have any questions about the process, please let me know. I will gladly answer them for you. Here is a photo of me taken on last Friday. They look very natural and I always feel Sexy! Thank you so much Dr Tang!

I was a patient here and underwent a surgical procedure that caused me significant pain immediately afterward. Even after a full year of repeatedly reporting my pain, discomfort, and a terrible aesthetic result--including a visible bulge in my abdomen--I was consistently dismissed. I was told everything was "fine" and that there was nothing wrong. I was the one who had to push for an ultrasound, which ultimately led to a misdiagnosis and the conclusion that nothing could be done. A year and a half later, my suffering had not stopped, so I sought second opinions from other providers. Both of them immediately recognized the diagnosis. It is, unfortunately, a known and relatively common complication of the type of surgery I had. The fact that my original doctor never acknowledged this possibility was deeply concerning. This experience has caused significant psychological stress, ongoing physical pain, missed work, and additional medical procedures. I have now had to take more time off to undergo corrective surgery, I am left with a permanent scar that would never have existed otherwise, and I have spent thousands of dollars out of pocket to repair the damage with a different doctor. What is most upsetting is that I did go back to the original provider, explained the correct diagnosis, and requested a refund based on what happened. I was told that I had received a "beautiful result," despite the clear physical deformity and the painful complication that had been overlooked for over a year. My concerns were dismissed, minimized, and ultimately ignored. At this point, I have no choice but to warn others about how complications may be handled here if something goes wrong with your procedure. I am also now forced to pursue board complaints and legal action, which is something I never wanted to do. I genuinely tried to resolve this directly. No response they leave on this review will change how this situation was handled.

The waiting room was full, and other patients had been waiting even longer (over two hours). There was no communication, no timeline, and no attempt to manage expectations. Delays happen, but this was chaotic, and appeared to be systemic overbooking rather than an isolated issue. For a surgical consultation, where attention to detail and patient care should be paramount, this experience was concerning to say the least. I felt I was waiting to be processed, not cared for. I sat there thinking - these are the people that would be responsible for my pre-op care, my surgery, my aftercare, and any complications that may arise during or after my procedure. And they cannot get the most basic function of the operation right. Ultimately, the consultation fee was a small price to avoid a five-figure mistake. Maybe it's ok for filler and Botox. If like me you are making a permanent decision about your body, beware. I won't undergo a scalpel on an assembly line. Hard pass.

Since then I was very self-conscious about them because they looked awful. I tried creams, tea bags, cold water compresses, etc. and nothing worked so I made a goal to have lower blepharoplasty done before the end of this year. Around August 2025, I was referred to a plastic surgeon by a friend. The doctor was reluctant to perform surgery on me for a couple of different reasons which I won't go into great detail. So without knowing anyone else, I found Dr. Wang and another Asian doctor via the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Since I am Asian, I was specifically looking for Asian doctors who had experience with this surgery on Asian males. I looked at his website, searched for any medical malpractice cases, lawsuits, was he board certified, etc. then scheduled an initial visit. Including Dr. Wang, I purposely visited with three doctor's for this surgery. During the visit with Dr. Wang, I asked about his facilities, the pre-op and post-op steps, aftercare support and follow-ups, shared with him my concerns (stemming from the visit with the first doctor), and a variety of additional questions. In fact, before the actual surgery date, I had two additional visits with him to talk over the initial concerns I had. Incidentally, there was no charge for these visits. Dr. Wang spent plenty of time with me during all three pre-op meetings and saw me pretty quickly meaning, once I stepped into the office for my appointment, I was seen by him in less than fifteen minutes. The surgery went smoothly and I'm very happy with the outcome. I've had four follow-up visits with him with a fifth one scheduled for February 2027. The office staff is terrific and helpful, especially Michelle Y. The facility is very nice, there's plenty of parking, and overall, a positive experience.

It's all for looks. No care involved at all. I paid for a ten year warranty. The breast with the large bulge ruptured two weeks after my warranty expired. When i went to look for this office, they had moved and didn't have a listing. He removed all his old reviews. I had to ask around to find him. Sure enough, he was hidden with no signage on his building. I had to search every floor and check doors before I found his new office. I asked about revision and was treated like a new patient. No concern about my ruptured breast at all! I was quoted $7500-$9000. Fkg ridiculous! The doctor who did my revision said that the previous doctor implanted 700cc sacks and overfilled them to 900cc. That explains the bulging and strange shapes they took on. I paid half of what​ doctor T's office quoted. I'm in nearly no pain, two days after my revision in TJ. I stayed in the hospital overnight and my husband was accommodated too. My new doctor just texted me to ask how I'm feeling. Wow! What a difference! Don't let your excitement get the best of you. Find a doctor who's going to care about your procedure, not just the money he's making.
